This blog is produced by members of the School of Politics and International Relation at the University of Nottingham, and by regular guest pieces. The analysis contained in each entry is informed by our internationally-ranked research, and we hope it will help readers better understand the political dynamics that underpin the world in which we all live. The School of Politics and International Relations takes no institutional position and all authors views are their own.

Professor Cees van Der Eijk will be running the BES Fact Check 2015 starting at 10pm tonight, where a team of researchers will be fact checking the claims and counter claims of politicians and political parties in real time. Follow them on Twitter at #BESFactCheck.

The school’s Twitter feed will be live tweeting the election results as they happen throughout the night and can be followed at @NottsPolitics.

And as always, you can follow all of our activities via our NottsPolitics Facebook page.
